Wayne Bridge's future could lie in France.
The Manchester City fullback has been told to find a new club after being frozen out by manager Roberto Mancini in preseason.
Bridge has been linked with Newcastle United, though City's terms are proving too steep for Toon to consider.
However, Olympique Marseille and Olympique Lyon have made their interest known in recent days. Bridge will need to accept a pay-cut to make the move to France.
